Hi
I'm just letting everybody know that if you running the Sky Drive & Clouds. That Microsoft can spy on what you are doing.

The one reason they put it in was because they could catch people downloading Child Porn. Or what ever else they want to spy on you.

That is why they like you to put in that little password when you are installing windows. People you don't an account to run windows.

So, nothing new then. The only way to avoid anyone, determined to see what you are doing, is to stay off-line as all OS makers and the main players for the internet services do the same thing.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.
